Match canned after toss
Australia’s remaining one-day internationals in the Caribbean and imminent T20 series in Bangladesh are in doubt after a positive COVID-19 test in Barbados. The second ODI against the West Indies yesterday was postponed in bizarre and dramatic circumstances before a ball was bowled after one of the host’s backroom staff tested positive for the virus. The teams were named, the captains had tossed and Australia were ready to bat at Kensington Oval when a halt was suddenly called moments before the first ball. Players, support staff and match officials retreated to their dressing rooms, the ICC then announced the match was suspended.
